Solved [zfskern] in the process list

[tux2bsd]

[zfskern] shows up in my process list, can it be unloaded somehow? I'm assuming it relates to ZFS which isn't in use on the hardware of this install.

do not load zfs.ko ?

It's running FreeBSD-13.0-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-RPI so comes part and parcel with that, I didn't load it but that gives me a clue - thanks.

And rebooted after adding module_blacklist="zfs.ko" to /boot/loader.conf because this system won't use ZFS.
